Who doesn't love a game?
I always wanted to integrate Arduino with games without being overly complex. The purpose of the project is to entertain people. Over the years, Entertainment had many changes. Nowadays, Mobile Games are the most popular, But I wanted to build a physical game that uses Arduino and gives a fun experience to anyone.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
The Game is basically a smart Marble maze.
The user wins the game if the ball goes to the other end without falling in the traps (holes).
The Game has a Joystick which moves the entire maze. The game uses Arduino and servo motors.
The Game will be powered with Adapter.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

4- Describe the Technical Modules that your project consists of
Construction Parts
Some parts of The Maze and closure will be designed as 2.5D parts using Fusion 360 and fabricated using 3D printing and/or Laser Cutting
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
Joystick
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
Servo motors
The Game starts moving using servo motors to move the ball inside the maze. The ball will face some traps.
Brain
Arduino to take input and make the movements
Power Management
Adapter to power the game.
5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
